Release Notes for GeoIP2 Web Services

February 13, 2018

We have added additional outputs to the GeoIP2 Country, GeoIP2 City, and GeoIP2 Enterprise databases and to the GeoIP2 Precision Services. The outputs are:

EU Country: /country/is_in_european_union – Country of the location of the IP address in an EU member state

EU Registered Country: /registered_country/is_in_european_union – Country registered by the ISP or organization is an EU member state

GeoIP2 Country, GeoIP2 City, and GeoIP2 Enterprise CSV databases will have a new column added to the location files named “is_in_european_union”. This will be “1” if the country is in the European Union and “0” otherwise.

November 2, 2017

GeoIP2 Precision Insights now includes anonymizer-type outputs. These outputs are:

/traits/is_anonymous – whether the IP address belongs to any sort of anonymous network.

/traits/is_public_proxy – whether the IP address belongs to a public proxy.

/traits/is_tor_exit_node – whether the IP address is a Tor exit node.

October 31, 2017

We have discontinued the legacy GeoIP JavaScript services, which used the endpoints http://js.maxmind.com/js/country.js and http://js.maxmind.com/js/geoip.js.If you still have not upgraded your integration to use the GeoIP2 JavaScript Client API or are encountering problems with your legacy GeoIP JavaScript services, you can find more information about what to do by clicking here.

Our Singapore server is now live. GeoIP2 Precision and GeoIP web service customers – if you hardcode any of our IPs in your application or your firewall, please make sure you have added the new server IP addresses to your list:

IPv4 address: 169.55.62.55

IPv6 address: 2607:f0d0:3:2d::4

hostname: geoip-as-southeast.maxmind.com

September 27, 2017

We completed our most recent review and update of Geolocation for Crimea. Our accuracy has increased as follows:

Approximately 89% of website visitors who are from Crimea are currently located by GeoIP as being in Crimea.
Approximately 97% of the visitors who are located in Crimea by GeoIP are actually in Crimea.

We currently locate Crimea in Ukraine, as we use GeoNames data and they locate Crimea in Ukraine. If GeoNames locates Crimea in Russia in the future, we will follow their change and post an announcement here as well as on https://twitter.com/maxmind.

In legacy GeoIP, we return a FIPS region code of 11 or 20. In GeoIP2, we return a iso code of 40 or 43 in the subdivision object.

Due to the nature of geolocation technology and other factors beyond our control, we cannot guarantee any specific future accuracy level. Further, accuracy figures are subject to change as IP networks are reallocated.

August 17, 2017

On October 31, 2017, we will discontinue our legacy GeoIP JavaScript services, which use the endpoints http://js.maxmind.com/js/country.js and http://js.maxmind.com/js/geoip.js. Please upgrade your legacy GeoIP integration to use our GeoIP2 JavaScript Client API before that date.

July 24, 2017

We will be mapping additional mobile (cellular) networks to a region (subdivision) rather than city level. This change will only occur where the confidence in the city data is low due to the mobile provider allocating IPs over a wide area.

July 10, 2017

June 23, 2017

Our Account Portal has been updated to include the ability for our customers to create and manage multiple license keys.

June 11, 2017

We are removing the geographical location for the anycast CloudFlare network 141.101.112.0/20. Anycast networks can be routed to a number of different locations all around the world, typically based on what is the nearest location.
Over the next few weeks, we may remove the geographical location for additional anycast networks, including more CloudFlare networks as well as Google public DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

May 8, 2017

We’ve updated the ISP and Organization data to replace the Charter Communications and Bright House Networks data points with the data point Spectrum, as these two ISPs have merged and been rebranded as Spectrum.

March 5, 2017

The GeoIP databases and services providing ISP and Organization data have been updated. The change is to a number of European and Latin Americans ISPs. We’ve updated the ISP name to use the common trade name instead of the legal name. This will make it easier to recognize the ISP.

Please note that if you use this data point, for example, to flag a visitor if they change ISP, you may need to adjust your implementation in order to avoid false positive flags.

The ISP name changes include the following:

Proximus Skynet to Skynet Belgium

Telefonica Germany to O2 Deutschland

Telefonica Movil De Chile S.A. to Movistar Movil Chile

Tele Danmark to TDC Danmark

November 8, 2016

We’ve updated any GeoIP database or service providing ISP and Organization data to return Comcast Business rather than Comcast Business Communications. We are doing so in order to use the trade name of the ISP and also because it is shorter.

Please note that if you use this data point, for example, to flag a visitor if they change ISP, you may need to adjust your implementation in order to avoid false positive or negative flags.

The following GeoIP databases and services are affected by this change:

GeoIP2 ISP database

GeoIP2 Enterprise database (Update will apply to November 15th release)
